Chapter 454: The Beixiu Banquet was also manipulated by a woman?
Bei Xiuyan's eyes dimmed and his face sank. Just as he was about to speak, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and a figure immediately jumped down. The person holding a command flag shouted: "Urgent report of the military situation in Youzhou [-] Miles." .”
Beixiu Yan took it and glanced at it hastily. He frowned and ordered loudly: "All generals of fifth rank and above should come into the tent to discuss matters."
He turned around and glanced at Shen Ruzhou, a touch of tenderness flashed in his originally sharp and tough eyes.
"Let Jian Yu accompany you. You go into the mountains disguised as villagers, and you must avoid Beiliao's army." After Beixiu Yan finished speaking, he entered the camp without looking back.
Shen Ruzhou followed Beixiu Yan's suggestion, dressed up as a village woman, brought Jian Yu and Fang Cheng, and the three of them left quietly under the cover of night.
The army quickly packed up and set off towards Beijing City in a mighty manner.
Xiao Chenyan was lying in the carriage and asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"
Due to his serious injury, he returned to the military camp and took medicine before falling into a deep sleep. At this moment, he was woken up by the bumpy carriage.
Seeing that his master was awake, Jun Wu hurriedly helped him sit up and respectfully reported back: "The regent ordered the army to withdraw to defend the northern city."
"What?" Xiao Chenyan was so shocked that the wound on his chest was involved, and the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
He raised his hand to open the curtain and saw the army rushing towards the city quickly. The word "North" was clearly written on the big flag in front.
Xiao Chenyan silently lowered the car curtain and couldn't help but clenched his back molars.
It was just a matter of time for him to heal his wounds, but Beixiuyan actually took control of the army directly, making all his previous efforts in vain.
"My lord, is there something wrong?" Jun Wu saw that Xiao Chenyan's expression was wrong and hurriedly asked for instructions.
"It's nothing." Xiao Chenyan calmed down his expression. Although he was unwilling to do so, he also understood that the best choice was to retreat and defend the city at this time.
Xiao Chenyan was furious when he thought that all the limelight had been stolen by Beixiu Banquet. He tried his best to vent his anger elsewhere. He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "What should Beixiu Banquet do with Xiao Ruohan and that guy?" The adulterer’s?”
"Xiao Ruohan secretly let Hong Xi go while we were out looking for Shen Chumu. The regent was originally very angry, but because of Xiao Ruohan's repeated begging, the regent finally stopped caring about it." Jun Wu told all the news he heard.
Hearing this, Xiao Chenyan felt that someone like Bei Xiuyan could be manipulated by a woman.
Thinking about Shen Ruzhou again, although he was a bit stubborn, he still knew the etiquette, justice and shame. At least he didn't do anything immoral like Xiao Ruohan.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chenyan was glad that he didn't listen to his mother and concubine and married Xiao Ruohan, otherwise he would be the cuckold now.
The road to Beijing City was uneven, and the carriage was running very fast. The wheels of the carriage ran over a stone, and the carriage jolted violently.
Xiao Chenyan in the carriage also suffered a wound on his chest due to the jolt, and he grinned in pain.
Jun Wu held on to the car window to barely steady his body, and cursed, "Stay still, or you will die."
The coachman responded obediently, wiped his sweat, and drove the car more cautiously.
Jun Wu helped Xiao Chenyan sit up, lowered his head and saw that his wound was bleeding again, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will call the military doctor right now."
Xiao Chenyan put a hand on his shoulder and said weakly, "Go and ask Shen Ruzhou to come."
As soon as these words came out, Jun Wu looked embarrassed: "Miss Shen went to find Shen Chumu and did not set off with the army."
"What?" Xiao Chenyan's pupils shrank suddenly and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
While they were talking, the army had already arrived at Beijing City.
The governor of the northern border had been waiting at the city gate with a group of officials and soldiers. He saw Beixiu Yan coming on a tall horse from a distance, and the governor ran over quickly with his official robe in hand.
The governor said with a flattering smile: "Prince Regent, arrangements have been made in the city. I am here to welcome the army into the city."
"Yes." Beixiu Yan responded lightly, his expression invisible. He raised his hand and waved, and the army followed him into Beijing City.
Xiao Chenyan could clearly see the governor's behavior in trying to please Beixiu Banquet from the carriage. He was used to seeing snobs who acted according to the circumstances, and his eyes were filled with contempt at this moment.
Everyone entered the governor's house, and the governor was busy preparing for the dinner. "Prince Regent, the dinner has been prepared. Please move to the flower hall to eat."
Beixiu Yan had a stern look on his face, glanced sideways at him, and waved his hand: "There is no need for the dinner. Let all the officials and generals in the city come to the main hall to discuss matters."
"Yes." Seeing that Beixiu's banquet did not buy it, the governor did not dare to say more. He quickly agreed and went to call for people to discuss the matter.
Xiao Chenyan was already dizzy after the bumpy journey. When he got off the carriage, he still felt like the world was spinning. He supported Jun Wucai and managed to steady his body.
Hearing that the officials at the Beixiu Banquet were asked to go to the main hall to discuss matters, Xiao Chenyan also wanted to take a look, and was helped up the steps by Jun Wu.
With a "bang", Xiao Chenyan was tripped and fell straight in front of the mansion. He forced himself to prop himself up and turned around, and he met Xiao Ruohan's arrogant eyes.
"Xiao Ruohan! You are looking for death! Someone comes and ties her up to this king." Xiao Chenyan was furious and shouted loudly.
The accompanying personal guards immediately took the rope and went up to tie the person up, but Xiao Ruohan was not afraid.
"I am the regent's man, no one dares to touch me."
For a moment, the guards looked at each other, too afraid to step forward.
Xiao Ruohan saw that Xiao Chenyan's forehead was bruised from the fall, and he felt even more proud. He said with a bit of teasing, "King Wucheng, please don't wrong a good person. It was obviously you who accidentally fell while walking, why should you take it out on me?"
Upon seeing this, the governor hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Chenyan up, and tried to smooth things over like a good old man, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were blazing, and he pushed the governor away, "Don't do this, I know how I fell. Jun Wu, go tie Xiao Ruohan, hang him up and beat him hard!"
"Yes." Jun Wu accepted the order, snatched the rope from the guard's hand, and went to tie up the person.
"What time has it been? You still have the mind to mess around here." A cold voice sounded, and Bei Xiuyan walked over to this side with a cold face.
"The regent had better take care of his woman, otherwise I don't know what he will do to her." Xiao Chenyan covered his head, his eyes full of scarlet with anger.
There was a hint of gloom in Bei Xiuyan's eyes, and there was a hint of threat in his voice: "Since King Wu Cheng is seriously injured, let's just rest. King Wu Cheng will not have to worry about the defense of the city."
After saying that, Beixiu Yan turned around and entered the house without waiting for Xiao Chenyan's reply.
Xiao Chenyan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. After hearing Bei Xiuyan's words, he could only swallow his breath and helped Jun Wu to limp into the house. The discussion was still important now.
